This paper gives an overview of works done in our group on 3D and appearance modeling of objects, from images. The backbone of our approach is to use what we consider as the princi...
— In appearance based robot localization a new image is matched with every image in the database. In this paper we describe how to reduce the number of images in this database wi...
This paper presents a new approach to prior shape and appearance modeling for use in curve evolution-based segmentation. The new method is based on the unified use of feature dist...
—We propose to model the statistics of natural images, thanks to the large class of stochastic processes called Infinitely Divisible Cascades (IDCs). IDCs were first introduced i...
